[0047] Currently, an electric heating module and the like are usually arranged between the heat exchanger and the cross-flow fan in a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and other modules such as a sterilization module, a dust removal module, a detection module, etc. are also arranged on the air duct. On the one hand, these modules are installed in the narrow space of the heat exchange air duct, and the entire air conditioner indoor unit needs to be disassembled for replacement later, which is not conducive to disassembly and maintenance; on the other hand, these modules have a certain obstructive effect on the air flow, affecting the heat exchange effect.
[0048] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner indoor unit, which includes a housing, a heat exchange air outlet assembly, and an auxiliary air outlet assembly. By providing an air inlet and an air outlet on the housing, the heat exchange air outlet assembly is arranged inside the housing, and a first air duct is formed between the air inlet and the air outlet to perform heat exchange through the first air duct. Then, the auxiliary air outlet assembly is arranged inside the housing, and a second air duct is formed between the air inlet and the air outlet to perform auxiliary air outlet to meet the requirements of auxiliary functions. That is, by independently arranging the heat exchange function part and the auxiliary function part inside the housing, it is beneficial for later disassembly, assembly, maintenance, and processing.
[0049] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner indoor unit, which includes a housing 100, a heat exchange air outlet assembly 200, and an auxiliary air outlet assembly 300.
[0051] The housing 100 has an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120.
[0052] The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 is arranged inside the housing 100, and a first air duct is formed between the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120.
[0053] The auxiliary air outlet assembly 300 is arranged inside the housing 100, and a second air duct is formed between the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120.
[0054] The air conditioner indoor unit in this embodiment can be a wall-mounted unit. Its housing 100 is generally a cuboid structure. The top surface of the housing 100 has an air inlet 110, and the lower part of the front surface of the housing 100 has an air outlet 120.
[0055] The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 in this embodiment can be composed of a heat exchanger and a fan. It is arranged inside the housing 100 and forms a first air duct. On the one hand, it is used to drive the indoor air to flow in from the air inlet 110 and then flow out from the air outlet 120 to form a cycle. On the other hand, it cools or heats the air flowing through the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 to adjust the indoor temperature.
[0056] The auxiliary air outlet assembly 300 in this embodiment can be composed of some auxiliary function modules and a fan. Among them, the auxiliary function modules can be an electric heating module, a sterilization module, a dust removal module, a detection module, etc. The auxiliary air outlet assembly 300 is arranged inside the housing 100 and forms a second air duct. On the one hand, it is used to drive the indoor air to flow in from the air inlet 110 and then flow out from the air outlet 120 to form a cycle. On the other hand, it performs auxiliary heating, sterilization, dust removal, detection, etc. on the air flowing through the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 to assist in adjusting the indoor air.
[0057] It should be noted that the indoor air conditioner may further include other components, such as an air regulating component, a display module, a controller, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs.
[0058] Specifically, when the above indoor air conditioner is arranged indoors and in normal use, air in the room flows in at the air inlet 110, enters the first air duct and the second air duct respectively. The first air duct cools or heats the air flow, and the second air duct assists in regulating the air flow, and then flows out from the air outlet 120 to form a cycle, creating a comfortable environment.
[0059] It can be understood that, compared with the prior art in which the auxiliary function module is installed in the narrow space of the heat exchange component, in the indoor air conditioner of the air conditioner in this embodiment, the heat exchange function part and the auxiliary function part are independently arranged in the housing. When the auxiliary function module has problems after long-term use, only a part of the housing needs to be removed to repair or replace the auxiliary function module, without disassembling the heat exchange component part, which is beneficial to the later disassembly, installation and maintenance. In addition, the auxiliary function module does not block the air at the heat exchange component, reducing the air resistance and ensuring the air volume.
[0060] Therefore, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application includes an indoor air conditioner, and the indoor air conditioner includes a housing 100, a heat exchange and air outlet component 200, and an auxiliary air outlet component 300. By providing an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120 on the housing 100, the heat exchange and air outlet component 200 is arranged in the housing 100, and a first air duct is formed between the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 for heat exchange through the first air duct. The auxiliary air outlet component 300 is arranged in the housing 100, and a second air duct is formed between the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 for auxiliary air outlet regulation through the second air duct, so that by independently arranging the heat exchange function part and the auxiliary function part in the housing, it is beneficial to the later disassembly, installation and maintenance.
[0061] In a possible design, the auxiliary air outlet component 300 includes a first fan 310 and at least one auxiliary module 320. The first fan 310 is on the side close to the air outlet 120, and the auxiliary module 320 is on the side close to the air inlet 110.
[0062] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the first fan 310 can be installed in the housing 100 through a bracket, or directly connected to the inside of the housing 100, and the first fan 310 is arranged facing the air outlet 120. The auxiliary module 320 can be fixed on the inner wall of the housing 100 through a mounting plate, and one or more of them can be provided to assist in regulating the air in the second air duct.
[0063] Of course, the positions of the first fan 310 and the auxiliary module 320 can also be interchanged. The models, quantities, specific positions, etc. of the first fan 310 and the auxiliary module 320 can be determined according to actual requirements and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0064] Further, in this embodiment, a mounting seat 130 is provided inside the housing 100, and at least one first insertion portion 131 is provided on the mounting seat 130.
[0065] The auxiliary module 320 has a second insertion portion 321 that matches the first insertion portion 131, and the second insertion portion 321 is correspondingly inserted into the first insertion portion 131.
[0066] Specifically, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the mounting seat 130 provides a mounting foundation, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 100. One or more first insertion portions 131 are provided on the side of the mounting seat 130 facing the auxiliary module 320. Correspondingly, one or more second insertion portions 321 are provided on the side of the auxiliary module 320 facing the mounting seat 130, and the second insertion portion 321 is correspondingly inserted into the first insertion portion 131. In this way, it is more conducive to later disassembly, replacement, and reduces the difficulty of disassembly.
[0067] It should be noted that the insertion connection between the first insertion portion 131 and the second insertion portion 321 is used to fix the auxiliary module 320 on the one hand and can also achieve electrical connection without additional wiring on the other hand.
[0068] Still further, in this embodiment, one of the first insertion portion 131 and the second insertion portion 321 is a jack, and the other is a plug that matches the jack, and the plug is correspondingly inserted into the jack.
[0069] In one example, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the first insertion portion 131 is a jack, and the second insertion portion 321 is a plug that matches the jack, so that the plug is correspondingly inserted into the jack.
[0070] In another example, not shown in the figure, the first insertion portion 131 can also be a plug, and the second insertion portion 321 is a jack that matches the plug, and in this way, the plug can also be correspondingly inserted into the jack. Among them, the specific models, quantities, positions, etc. of the plug and the jack can be determined according to actual installation requirements and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0071] Still further, in this embodiment, the auxiliary module 320 is at least one of an electric heating module, a sterilization module, a dust removal module, and a detection module.
[0072] That is to say, one of the above modules can be set, or multiple such modules can be set simultaneously to play an auxiliary adjustment role. Of course, other modules with auxiliary functions can also be set, and there are no excessive restrictions in this embodiment.
[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment, a bracket 140 is further provided inside the housing 100, and the first fan 310 is connected to the bracket 140.
[0074] Specifically, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the bracket 140 can be fixed to the inner wall of the housing 100 by means of screwing, welding, clamping, etc., and the first fan 310 can also be fixed to the bracket 140 by means of screwing, welding, clamping, etc.
[0075] It should be noted that the bracket 140 should not cause too much resistance to the second air duct. Therefore, the bracket 140 can be set in a frame, rod-shaped or other structures. For the specific structure, connection form, etc. of the bracket 140, it can be determined according to actual needs, and there are no excessive restrictions in this embodiment.
[0076] In order to reduce the occupied space of the first fan 310, in this embodiment, the first fan 310 is an axial flow fan.
[0077] In this way, the first fan 310 can be a small axial flow fan, which plays an auxiliary air outlet role, has a small occupied space, and avoids the air conditioner indoor unit from being too large in volume. For the specific size, model, etc. of the axial flow fan, it can be determined according to actual installation needs, and there are no specific limitations in this embodiment.
[0078] In some embodiments, the heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 includes a heat exchanger 210 and a second fan 220. The heat exchanger 210 is close to the air inlet 110 side, and the second fan 220 is close to the air outlet 120 side.
[0079] Specifically, the heat exchanger 210 can be set in an inverted V shape to increase the heat exchange area and ensure the heat exchange effect. The heat exchanger 210 is close to the air inlet 110 side. The second fan 220 is close to the air outlet 120 side and is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100.
[0080] In this way, air flows into the first air duct from the air inlet 110, and after passing through the heat exchanger 210 and the second fan 220, it is discharged from the air outlet 120. Of course, the positions of the heat exchanger 210 and the second fan 220 can also be interchanged, and there are no excessive restrictions in this embodiment.
[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second fan 220 is a cross-flow fan.
[0082] Specifically, as Figures 1-3As shown, the cross-flow fan is generally cylindrical in structure, and its axis is consistent with the length direction of the housing 100. In this way, the thickness of the air conditioner indoor unit can be prevented from being too thick, and the structure is more compact. For the specific model, size, etc. of the cross-flow fan, it can be determined according to actual needs and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0083] In some embodiments, the air conditioner provided in this embodiment further includes an air conditioner outdoor unit, and the air conditioner outdoor unit is connected to the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0084] Specifically, not shown in the figure, the air conditioner outdoor unit can be connected to the air conditioner indoor unit through a pipeline so that the refrigerant circulates, thereby realizing the refrigeration or heating of the heat exchanger 210. That is, the air conditioner outdoor unit and the air conditioner indoor unit are used in cooperation. For the specific model of the air conditioner outdoor unit, etc., it can be determined according to actual needs and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0085] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
